Surf Relief UK (SRUK), formed in January 2005 to help co-ordinate the UK surfing communities’ response to the Asian Tsunami of Boxing day 2004.  As a result the organisation achieve a great deal in a short period of time raising over £40,000. This money made real impact on the East coast of Sri Lanka. The organisation has constructed houses, built part of orphanage and school, employed teachers and as helped a number of small businesses. 90% of funds that have been raised through the generosity of the surfing community have been used on projects on the ground.

 Surf Relief UK is now a registered charity. Having experienced the generosity of the surfing community organisers realised that there was potential to raise further funds for other projects.

Quote from Dave Manley (SRUK Chairman)

future both in the UK and

abroad acting as The UK’s

surfing charity’                               Jack Johnson lends his support to SRUK
